were out lie force with their fond daugh-
Iers on dress parade To watch how their
special rabbit eaters voted. Their pres
ence was calculated to awe the members
and to remind them that IL they did not
vote In the interest OF the old place, whose
antiquities and poor habits were ali il had

eminent of great commonwealth, il
would be the worse for them,
PRELIMINARY.
The early morning hour was consumed
in the monOtonOus intrud uctIOn OF petit
lions, demonstrates, bills, etc, all of
which were referred to proper cOmmi, tees.
Among the petitions were several, asking
the removal Of the state capitol from JEFF
erson City to Sedalia. These were from
Bates, Lawrence, Jasper, Carroll and other
counties. The reading of ,hese petitions
provoked frOwns from the cheap, iewelry
bed cked boarding house danes of the
capitol city, but the business of the house
proceeded jast az If they were not present
to approve or disapprove of It's action.
OPENING so 6 AND DANCE
Promptly at 1890 Mr.. Crawford, of Pet
tbs, called up the special order for the
hour the concurrent resolution, removal
OF the state capital from Jefferson City to
SeCalia. The regular order was passed
for the time being and reports of commit
tees were handed to the chief clerk, who
read in a voice showing that he was not
afraid OF the battery OF bright eyes and
prospective empty stOm lchs mat were az
rayed in front of him.
| At 1910 blank roll call sheets acre dis
tributed among the boarding house ma
irons, in order that they might check the
names OF their respective bOarders who
voted nay.
At 1915 the clerk read the proposed
constitutional amendment by its title
when Mr.. Kern of 81 Louis said owing to he
absence by sickness of Mr.. Mcintyre, the
member from Cole, he moved that the
further consideration be postponed until
February, 10.
Mr.. Salisbury, of Charlton, seconded the
motion of Mr.Kern aud amended it by in
sertint Monday the Dist of February as the
date of its consideration.
Accepted by Mr.. Kern.
Capt. Bridges, of Pettis came to his feet
and got recognition of the speaker and
made on of his pleasant and happily
worded efforts which commanded the very
closest attention of the house and very
large lobby. His remarks were witty, 10
the point. and to the effect that out of
consideration for the absence of the very
able representative from Cole, Mr. Mcintyre |
he hoped that the friends of the measure |
would vote in favor of such proposed post |
pnnement. Cheers. Mr.. Bridges then |
asked that the date be amended so as to |
make it the I'D of February.
Some gentleman suggested that the I'D |
was a national holiday, whereupon Mr..
Bridges changed his amendment to read /
the 23d, which was adopted by q RIGA Uoce
vote.
The boarding house girls then tested the
strength OF their corset Strings, by taking
long breath, as much as to say, "Thi' is
another lease of life."
The Jefferson City lobby then withdrew,
after which Captain Bridges moved to
reconsider the vote by which the postpone
ment Was passed which was consented to.
Captain Bridges also moved that March
Ind be named as the day, aud 1880 as the
hour at which the matter would be further
considered. Carried.
